Huish Outdoors is recalling about 4,500 Oceanic and Hollis first stage scuba diving regulators. These metal regulators, which control air pressure from the tank to the diver, can restrict airflow when tank pressure drops below 500 psi. While no injuries have been reported, this defect poses a serious drowning hazard. The affected units were sold at scuba equipment stores nationwide between October 2017 and June 2018, either as standalone first stage units or as part of a complete regulator set. Consumers should immediately stop using these regulators and return them for a free repair.
The regulator can unexpectedly restrict the diver's air supply when the tank pressure reaches a low level (below 500 psi). This restriction can prevent a diver from breathing sufficient air during their ascent, potentially leading to drowning.
Consumers should immediately stop using the recalled scuba diving regulators and contact a local Oceanic or Hollis dealer for a free repair.
